The story of the Middle Ages is told through the lives of such men
as Attila the Hun, Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Edward the
Black Prince, and Joan of Arc. The Famous Men of the Middle Ages
guides readers through the turbulent 'dark age' of history and
sheds light on how the world transitioned from the end of ancient
times to the birth of the modern era.
Not the same as other Famous Men reprints - This one is better 190+
illustrations to go with the stories, five new chapters added by
historian Rob Shearer on Augustine, Patrick, St. Francis, St.
Benedict, and Hildebrandt. The stories begin with the tales of the
Bishops who saved civilization: Augustine & Patrick. And the
Germanic chiefs who defeated the Romans: Alaric, Genseric, and
Theodoric. Then come stories of the famous kings of the Franks:
Clovis, Charles Martel, and Charlemagne. The second half of the
book includes chapters on Justinian, Mohammed, Harun-Al-Rashid, El
Cid, William the Conqueror, Frederick Barbarossa, Tamerlane, Marco
Polo, and Joan of Arc. The stories of many of these figures can't
be found for children anywhere else. Don't just show children
pictures of castles; let them read the stories of those who built
them and lived in them.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1904 Edition.
The study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin
with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed
in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate
places and assume their right proportions. The famous men of
ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks of history. It is
logical then that the study of history should begin with the
biographies of these men. Not only is it logical; it is also
pedagogical. Experience has proven that in order to attract and
hold the child's attention each conspicuous feature of history
presented to him should have an individual for its center. The
child identifies himself with the personage presented. It is not
Romulus or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander that the child has in
mind when he reads, but himself, acting under similar conditions.
